7 Setting up the unit and clearances
7.1 Unit location
The furnace must be installed where outside air supply will be sufficient for proper
combustion. In airtight houses, it might be necessary to install an outside air inlet (see
details in Section 6.5, Combustion air.)
The furnace must be positioned so that the connector is as short as possible. Minimize the
use of 90
o
elbows and horizontal lengths.
The owner must ensure a proper installation to allow a safe operation of the
appliance.
7.2 Location of the certification label
Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always
overrides the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues,
flyers, magazines and/or web sites) it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and
compliant installation. In addition, you will find information about your furnace (model,
serial number, etc.). You can find the certification label on the back of the furnace.
7.3 Clearances to combustible material
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to
procedures set out in safety standards CSA B366.1 (Canada) and UL 391 (U.S.A.). When
the furnace is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances
specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal
operating conditions.
No part of the furnace or flue pipe may be located closer to combustibles than the
minimum clearance figures given.
N.B.: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL APPLIED ON THE UNIT.
